Prisoner's Song CD

Warren Storm
Prisoner's Song CD

Singing drummer Warren Storm was Swamp-Pop royalty, reaching his commercial apogee with his very first 45rpm, a revival of Vernon Dalhart's Prisoner's Song in 1958.
He subsequently embarked upon a remarkable career, experiencing a major resurgence in popularity around the turn of the century, when he was in his sixties,
He continued to tour and record with the all-star South Louisiana band Lil' Band Of Gold until his death, in 2021, at the age of eighty-four.
Warren Storm has been poorly served over the years in terms of CD releases of his classic recordings, and this release begins to put that right.
This set anthologises his first dozen 45s, produced by Jay Miller and issued between 1958 and 1962, and by way of bonus tracks includes a further eight live cuts recorded in 1957.
Much of this material has never previously appeared on CD.
